SIGHTING: ROCKFORD, ILLINOIS (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"I was outside of wal-mart, reading about the cseti program on my mobile phone. as i was reading the website, i thought to myself that i would like to have some manner of extraterrestrial experience, to validate the phenomenon in my mind. it was right after i thought this, that a thought was interjected into my mind, which simply said "well, look up!" when i looked up, i did not immediately see the craft, but i did notice that the air was "sparkly," or filled with small luminous motes which seemed to almost behave like gnats or mosquitoes. there was also a misty spot of cloud on a very clear day at roughly 30 degrees high from the horizon. very shortly, where the spot of cloud had been, i saw a dark object hovering in the sky. it resembled an elongated trapezoid, broader on the bottom than the top, and in the top center there was a triangular point. it seemed hazy gray in color, but that may have been a distortion created by it's apparent distance. it was very small, quite distant, it seemed. i began thinking "is that it? is that you?" as i was very mystified, given that it continued to hover. i thought then "can you come closer?" not reckoning that i was standing outside a busy wal-mart, and it was then that the craft flew off, extremely swiftly to my right, due south, behind the building where i couldn't see it further."
